Southwick Estate Party


This week we had the pleasure of a visit to the beautiful village of Southwick.
We were to arrange flowers and set up trees for a party at Southwick Estate.
The entrance was marked by two 5' Bay Trees under arranged with summer blooms.


One of my Fabulous team arranging two large Pedestal arrangements for the entrance into the Marquee. The Delphiniums were stunning, we kept the flowers to traditional  English summer blooms.


The Finished arrangement.


Large floral spheres hanging from the ceiling make quite the statement. An eye catching Focal point in the venue.




Helen & Daniel Southsea Castle


Southsea Castle was the destination for one of this weeks wedding receptions. 
Helen and Daniel had chosen a simple 50's theme. 
Bunting created out of Cath Kidston fabric, floral fabric hearts on the tables and nostalgic family wedding photos all complimented by our jars and bottles filled with pastel summer blooms.



The jars were given that vintage feel with the addition of gingham ribbons, raffia bows and string.


The card and present table all laid out awaiting gifts and notes of congratulations. The empty glass containers are for the Bridesmaids to place there bouquets in when they reach the reception.



Helen's bridal bouquet was styled to reflect an English summer garden. Roses, Dahlia, Hydrangea and Peonies are just some of the many blooms picked to compliment the theme.


We love to add the right finishing touches.


Dans' Buttonhole a simple cluster of flowers to compliment the Bouquet


Bridesmaids bouquet were arranged using the same flowers as Helen but with the addition of Eucalyptus to pick up on there sage green gowns.

"Thank you so much for our beautiful flowers, they were better than I could have imagined! And I received such wonderful comments from everyone on them all day. You really brought our ideas to life -THANKS!! Helen & Dan x"

Congratulations to you both it was a pleasure to arrange the flowers for your special day, and what a glorious day!!

A simple tied bouquet made of Gemmas favourite flower Gerbera, with Diamante detail to the centre of the flowers and the handle, creating interest and giving the bouquet a look fit for a Bride.


Sarah and Marks country themed wedding


The theme was a simple garden/country style. Flowers that were selected could all be grown in our gardens such as Dahlias, Aquilega, Roses, Astrantia, Mint etc.
